49, N. - 49, sent it over the
"a q" ~ n plate curved in
seven different
ways. Such an exhibition of pitching
was never before seen in st. Paul.
Rocks made a clean hit in the first inn
ing and another in the ninth, and these
were all that the visitors were able to
get. Eight of them famed the air in
vain attempts to find the ball, and they
sent only three flies outside the diamond,
one of which was taken by Burch, one
by Crooks and one by Pickett. And
pitcher never had better support.
Kemmler did not have a passed
ball and there was not so much as
a momentary tumble anywhere in the
field. Pickett, Crooks and Cleveland
were in fine form, and snapped up the
grounderS with degree of eagerneSS
that excited the admiration of every
one of the 800 spectators. Pickett and
Crooks also each made pretty catch.
Burch, Murphy. Wilmot and Sowders
led with the willow. The fielding of
the visitors was very sharp and often
rOundly applauded. Rocks, Jevne and
MOriarity took in ten flies in the out
field without a skip. and the catch of
SOwderS' hot liner by COrbett in the
fourth, enabling him to double up
Crooks at third, was a pretty piece of
work. Miller'S catch of Reminders fly
in the fifth was
FINE EXHIBITION.

opened up the game with a line hit to
left, stole second, went to third on Will
mOt'S out and scored on Cleveland s
drive to right. Cleveland scored on
Burch's drive to right, the lat

belts muff of Moriarity's throw
from the fence. Pickett then hit the
ball to Meinke at third, who got it to first
after Pickett had passed the base, but
Umpire Tindill called the runner out
This was a plain error of judgment on
the umpire's part, but his work during
the rest of the game was generally
pretty accurate. Crooks retired the side
by dropping a fly into the hands
of Moriarity. Miller first faced Sow
derS, but was neatly retired from short
to first. Rocks followed with line
drive to center, but Meinke sent sharp
grounder to short which enabled Pick
EFT, Crooks and McCauley to execute a
pretty double play In the second inn
ing McCauley famed the September
breezes, SowderS put fly into Rocks
hands and Kemmler was cut off from sec
Ond to first. Corbett's dust cutter to

to right brought Murphy home. Pickett
ended the run getting by dropping fly
into Jeyne's paws. Dwyer struck out
Hallstrom took first on balls and went
to second on wild pitch, being the only
La Crosse man to reach second during
the game. KinZie struck out and Crooks
took Miller's fly. Crooks was presented
with base in the fourth, went to second
on a passed ball and to third on McCau-
ley'S out from short to first. COrbett
took SOwderS' hot line drive and doubled
up Crooks at third. Crooks took Rocks
fly after long run, Meinke went out
from second to first and Corbett from
third to first. kemmler opened the fifth
with a fly to short. Murphy then hit
the ball along the left foul line too slow
to field, and stole second. Wilmot and
Cleveland went out on flies to left and
center. Moriarity sent fly to Burch
Jevne got base on balls, but was not
successful in his attempt to steal SecOud.
Dwyer also got base as present, but
HallStrom was retired from pitcher to
first. In the Sixth Burch got life on
CORBETT's TUMBLE,
stole second, went to third Oh wild
pitch and scored on Crooks double
against the right field fence, Pickett
going out in the meantime on fly to
first. McCauley sent fly to left and
SOwders pounded the sphere against
the left field fence, well up toward the
top, for two bases, bringing Crooks
home. Kemmler's grounder to Hall
strom settled the side again. Kinzie hit
fly to short, Miller went out from
pitcher to first and Rocks agitated the
air. In the seventh Murphy hit the ball
to short left center, but Jevne, with a
magnificent burst Of speed, got under it..
Wilmot then sent the ball to short right
center. Jevne again struck a
terrific gait, his hands went
down into the grass and he came
up with the ball. The umpire
decided that he got it on the bound.
Wllmot then stole second and third.
Cleveland struck out and Burch took
first on balls. The latter purposely ran
OFF first as the catcher was returning
the ball to the pitcher. Hallstrom then
threw the ball to second, but Wilmot
seemed daZed and did not attempt to run
home. He should, of course, have made
a dash for the plate the moment the ball
left Hallstrom's hand and taken his
chances on wild throw. As it was
Burch was run down and the side re-
tired. Meinke and Corbett struck out
and Moriarity went out from short to
first. In the eighth Jevne nipped Pick
EFT, Crooks struck out and McCauley
sent a grounder to first ahead of him
self. Jevne gave Pickett an opportu-
nifty to make
A CIRCUS CATCH,
Dwyer struck out and Cleveland made
pretty stop and throw of HallstrOm's
grounder. Sowders opened the ninth
with hit to right and went to third on
wild pitch. Kemmler dropped a flv
into Miller's hands and Murphy sent
one to Rocks. Wilmot brought Sow
derS home on three-baSe drive along
the right foul line and Cleveland
popped fly into Moriarity's nav. Kin
Zie opened the last half of the ninth by
tanning the gentle breezes and Miller
went out from second to first. Rocks
then got in pretty daisy cutter to left
and Manager Hatch readjusted his
glasses, and remarked he guessed it
wouldn't be a Chicago after all.
Meinke, however, hit sharp one to
Cleveland, who took it neatly and
